    1. Re: [SRY] 4 CHAPEL ROW & EXMOUTH STREET CAMBERWELL
    2. Chris Willis
    3. Hi Gill I could have saved myself a lot of trouble if I had simply looked at the two Chapel Rows in the West Surrey FHS index to the Godfrey Maps. One of these two is in Clerkenwell (not Camberwell) and joins Exmouth Street (but not the one you found near Jubilee St in Mile End Old Town). I think this Exmouth St is now Exmouth Market. Chapel Row had gone by 1957, so you may well be right that it got blitzed. This Chapel Row is the only one mentioned in the 1912 edition of Streets and Places in the Admin County of London. Also the 1929 edition. The 1862 Stanford map published on CD by Mapco, shows the Exmouth St Chapel Row, but does not index it. I haven't found the one they mention in their index. Nor the Cadogan Square one in the WSFHS index, although there is an area that wd suit the appelation. Although I have the right edition, there are sometimes variations within an edition. I trust this helps. I'll send a map extract off list.

    1. Re: [SRY] A Question about Society in the early 1900's
    2. Dorri Roughley
    3. Hi, There were some unmarried mothers' "Maternity Nursing Homes" as well. I caught a relative in such a place on the 1901 census (31 Sturrey Street, Poplar). Attitudes had changed significantly by the beginning of the 1900s, where as in the early-mid 1800s a third or more brides were pregnant when they got married, and quite a few only married when the second child was on it's way, this was now deemed to be no longer acceptable, especially in the growing middle class. There is a family story about a 3gt uncle of mine on discovering that one of his daughters was pregnant took her to a back street abortionist in London. This would have been @WW1. Strangely he was determined that none of his daughters would be allowed to marry.

    2. Caroline Bradford
    3. Unless, of course, the Church got involved (which is quite likely in the circumstances) and they kept records of their own. It is quite possible that Frederick could have been adopted via (or even born in) a Catholic institution of some kind. You could try getting back to the Merton Heritage Centre to see if they are aware of any such place in the area, or alternatively, you could inquire directly to the diocesan authorities (http://www.rcsouthwark.co.uk/). Catholic records are some of the hardest to access, but I think that their traditional preference of keeping their records as inaccessible as possible is beginning to change, albeit slowly.

    3. Hallo Nicky Here is the web site URL for the Sacred Heart at Edge Hill Wimbledon http://www.sacredheartwimbledon.org.uk/ I looked for St Mary's, Merton and could only find a primry school by that name, so then I looked for the Southwark Roman Catholic diocese details. http://www.rcsouthwark.co.uk/parlink.html If you go to the link for Merton you will find there is no St Mary's church. It does not come up on Google either, so either it never existed and somebody has confused the school name or it is defunct and its regosters passed to another church, or it was bombed and the registers were destroyed or .... I think an email to the diocese might be the quickest way for you to sort this out. The Anglican church for Merton is called St Mary the Virgin so I think there has been a mix up somewhere. British History online http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=43032does not give a catholic church for Merton An unmarried mother who wanted to have her child baptised might well travel to a more distant church and used a relative's address. Do you know whether Mary had siblings, cousins or other relatives who might have helped her? Do you know why Frederick was adopted? There might be a clue there - maybe a foraml legal agreement or financial allowance as part of the arrangeent. It must have been really hard for Mary to give him up after 2 years.

I've changed the subject line as most people with RICHARDSON interest may not have opened the mail thinking Biddington was the surname. And always best to put surnames in capitals - it makes them stand out in a posting and distinguishes it from place names.

    2. Caroline Bradford
    3. Hi Nicky Your persistence does you credit, and I can understand the reasons for it, but I think you may have to accept at some point that there is a very strong possibility that he was not baptised (or at least not as an infant). If Mary was a Catholic she was certainly not a particularly strict one, or she wouldn't have got herself into trouble in the first place. I'm not judging her, on the contrary, but the local parish priest might well have done so. The Catholic church at that time was inclined to take a very hard line on unmarried mothers. I frankly doubt that a father would be named in a baptism register. You do sometimes see this, but usually only in older registers and in rural parishes, where everyone knew who the father was already. It is odd that Merton Heritage Centre can't help you with the address. I think this angle may be worth pursuing, as it would be useful for you to find out more about where he was born and who else was living there. It's not really my "patch", but perhaps others will have some suggestions about other routes to more information.

    1. [SRY] Baptism for Frederick Frank DUFFY in Merton in 1914
    2. Nicky&Peter
    3. Hello Listers Could anyone help me with this please? I am trying to find the baptism records for Frederick Frank DUFFY born in Merton on 9th October 1914. I am interested to see if any father is named. Frederick Duffy's mother was Mary Elizabeth DUFFY and he was born at 21 Bathurst Avenue. His parents were not married and no father is named on his birth certificate. He was adopted to another family in late 1916 and changed his name. I looked in the LDS library catalogue under Merton and found 'Church of England, Parish church of Merton, Parish registers of Merton 1559-1923'. The file notes show that Baptism records are available 1903-1911 and they stop there!! I contacted the Surrey Family History Centre and they looked at the baptism records for St Mary's Merton without success. They suggested I try St John's which I did- the kind people there looked for me but again without success. The Surrey Family History Centre suggested that as Frederick Duffy's mother was a Catholic he may have been baptised in St John Fisher in Merton. I contacted them and their records only go back to 1945. They suggested I try the Sacred Heart Church at Edge Hill but the email address I was given (wimparish@jesuit.net) bounced. I contacted the Merton Heritage office and they searched their records but could find no evidence of 21 Bathurst St existing until 1915. Can anyone suggest anything else that I might try? Many thanks Nicky Marlow Perth, Western Australia

    3. Richard - An name index would only be useful if you were looking for an Officer as most Other Ranks O.R.(s) weren't named unless they were charged for an offense or got mentioned in the daily dispatches etc.  Usually some like this would be recorded - 10 O.R.s were killed in action today.   My grandfather Abraham Cannell was in the 1st Battalion of the East Surrey Regiment.  He had returned to the WW1 from where he was living in Alberta, Canada.  He lost a leg in 1917 and was released.   I have hard copies of the diaries and have found them extremely interesting as to how they lived in the trenches etc but not very helpful as to name him by name.     Donna King Barrie, Ontario Canada   --- On Sat, 10/3/09, Richard M Brown <brownrichardm@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: From: Richard M Brown <brownrichardm@yahoo.co.uk> Subject: Re: [SRY] "The Surreys" War Diaries 1914 -1919 online To: eng-surrey@rootsweb.com Received: Saturday, October 3, 2009, 3:11 PM Ann Thank you for the link to a super site.  It's a shame there is no name index ..  yet?  Richard & Flora Brown Bromley Kent U.K. ________________________________ From: Ann Sargeant <ann.sargeant@ntlworld.com> To: "Eng-Surrey@rootsweb.com" <ENG-SURREY@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, 3 October, 2009 11:05:53 Subject: [SRY] "The Surreys" War Diaries 1914 -1919 online The Great War Diaries (1914-1919) of The Queen's Royal West Surrey, and The East Surrey Regiments  by are in transcript form online at: http://qrrarchive.websds.net/menu1.aspx?li=1 There is also an archive of photographs and maps.
